İşte işitme cihazı kullanmaya yeni başlayanların sorduğu bazı sorular ve cevaplarımız:

I just started using hearing aids. Why does my own voice sound strange?

There will be a period of getting used to when you start using a hearing aid. It takes a few days for your brain to get used to hearing well again, and this is also necessary for your own voice. Some users say that they hear their own voices as if their noses are stuffy during this time. This is completely natural and will end in a few days. If the sounds are different and strange detection continues, there may be a problem with your device's settings. Etfal Hearing Centers hearing specialists will be pleased to serve you in such a case.

How long does it take to get used to the use of hearing aids?

Necessary for hearing aid adaptation processLet's consider what:

1st and 3rd days;

The hearing aid should only be used at home for the first week. The device should be adjusted so that it can be heard comfortably and listen to different sounds (such as newspaper rustling, sneezing, coughing, clock, telephone ringing) by walking around the house. If the user feels nervous or tired, the device can be turned off and take a break.

The device user should read the newspaper or book aloud and control his own voice. He should try to understand what is being said by talking to only one person, looking at the face of the speaker, and then without looking. It is easier to understand by looking at the face of the person speaking at the beginning.

4th and 7th days;

While doing daily work at home, the device should be plugged in, different sounds should be listened (such as door slamming, water boiling, washing machine, vacuum cleaner) and try to get used to these sounds. You should start watching the news on TV. At the end of the 1st week, the device user can wear the hearing aid for at least 5 hours a day. Can start using the device in conversation groups of 3-4 people. The device user can list the words he has difficulty in distinguishing (for example, Hospital-Post Office, Taş-Yaş, Kuş-Run). He should have a relative read this list (first by looking at his lips, then by closing his eyes) and then repeat it himself and try to increase his ability to distinguish these words.

The user should now go out and listen to the sounds of nature.

If there is something that the device user does not understand during the conversations, he should not hesitate to make the other person repeat it.

In the second week, the device can be used in crowded environments such as theaters, cinemas, shopping malls. The device user should try to talk to a person as much as possible in crowded environments.

Tüm sürecin sonunda işitme cihazı her zaman kullanılmalıdır
